Passengers travelling between Yamuna Bank and Vaishali by Metro will have to wait for trains a little longer than usual on Sunday. Delhi Metro said on Friday it has scheduled maintenance work on the stretch that afternoon.

"To undertake planned track maintenance work, train services between Yamuna Bank and Vaishali Metro stations of Blue Line will be run on single line for two hours only on Sunday," a Delhi Metro Rail Corp (DMRC) statement said.

The maintenance work will be done between 12.30 p.m. and 2.30 p.m. As a result, train services will be provided at a frequency of around 15 minutes instead of seven minutes as per the Sunday time table.

DMRC said the work cannot be done at night "due to ambient temperature constraints". Services on the Blue Line from Dwarka Sector 21 to Noida City Centre will continue as usual.
